The Hornets moved to strengthen their ranks by completing the permanent signing of Craig Dawson from West Bromwich Albion on July 1, 2019.

The defender agreed terms on a four-year deal with Watford, keeping him at Vicarage Road until the summer of 2023.

A former England Under-21 international who also represented Team GB at the 2012 Olympics, Dawson has a wealth of Premier League experience, having racked up more than 150 top-flight appearances for the Baggies.

He is comfortable in either a central defensive position or at right-back and in total played in 225 games during nine years at the Hawthorns, having spent time with Rochdale and Bolton earlier in his career.
